Design of structural elements
by use of expert networks

Abstract: Shown are three nets. As the first, shown is an example of evaluating a classic rule
based expert system to an expert network by replacing one of its knowledge base searching
module with a neural network. The second net is used to describe a behavior model of compound
steekoncrete columns. Following the design procedure of the DIN 18800 part two, and using just
a selected part of data tables for columns design presented as the input data for neural network ,
the author succeed to organize the design process by neural network only. The rules in the expert
system are used for design flow controlling. The third net is not an expert network. It is a neural
network combined with PASCAL codes, but should be embedded into an expert system. The work
is dealing with problems of variably Input energy control into structural systems (smart bridges)
depending on the monitored generated incoming (traffic) loading.
